Re: felonys
This might be possible though you should contact a lawyer directly to have him or her do it.

Most criminal records cannot be expunged. You can only expunge or seal a record if you were never convicted of the charges (for example - a withhold of adjudication was ordered by the court). You should talk with an attorney to see if you qualify.
